Is it possibly to use both ports (USB & TB) at the same time on 2 different computers?

One computer at a time. For shared storage you would want something with shared storage built in like a NAS or SAN.

No, this is not a network drive. You can use one interface with one computer at a time, thank you

Not sure - I am only using on one computer . I see no reason it could not be done.

If you've got the requisite port, there shouldn't be a problem. There's no drivers to play around with, it behaves like a traditional HDD: plug and play.

Never used it that way but I have with other windows systems. There is only one old fashion type monitor port. If one of your monitors works with a usb port I would think it would not be a problem.

No, this is impossible with a USB Hub. The functionality you want can be achieved with a KVM Switch (just search on Amazon), or if you want to try it with Software, try checking out http://synergy-project.org/

The simple answer is: No.The USB ports are for moving data from the Network Drive to a flash drive (or vice versa).

Maybe... You have to make sure to go into boot and set it up so you can have the choice to boot from USB. You might run into the problem of both drives sharing the same cable, but with mine when I go to "My Computer" the drives are listed separately, so it might. Good luck.

Possibly, IF the 2 PCs are physically located close together and you use some sort of a USB sharing switch.[like this one CableWholesale's USB 2.0 AB Switch Box, 2 PC to 1 USB 2.0 Device (Printer, Scanner, etc...) or the IOGEAR GUB211]But you would be toggling between 2 users AND only one user could SCAN at a time.I have a feeling you would occasionally have to go into Device Manager in Windows and do a "Scan for new hardware" if the scanner is not detected after toggling the USB switch.

Good info thanks for posting.This is an open question to anyone who knows: Any insight into whether or not a program like Parallels would work and if there are USB issues?

I have just now tried it and I am using 2 ports at the same time with no problem.

Yes, just be sure you do not install any programs on the drive or they may not run. If you are using the 2nd drive just for data it should be fine.

Yes for you to get the USB 3 speed out of the 2 USB 3 ports, as it has already been mentioned maybe you could find a cable to convert 3 to 2 but you won't get the 3 speed, which is nice.

I would think that you could not do this with the device by itself. Since it copies sector to sector, even if you have less than 250GB on the source drive, some sectors near the end may be used. You could, however, use the USB3 connector to attach both drives and copy files from one drive to the other. Not as fast, but doable. HTH, Jeff

I don't think so. There is no driver to be installed. The only way to change between the two USB is pressing the blue buttons.

Yes! that is exactly what I did, but you will only get USB 2.0 speeds I haven't had any problems with mine.

Not quite... This device will allow you to share 4 usb ports between two computers (or DVRs).

I think you can link two of them together. Not sure about the USB and estata connections.
